Doesn't have that fake, sweet, annoying "chocolate" smell. This smells literally like hot chocolate, I'm very pleased with my purchase and it left my skin smooth.
I love the Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub. It's expensive $8.53 (260g) from iherb dot com, but very beneficial and natural. I can't buy it in my country, I ordered it online. I have a coupon code for this site if you want order the first time: VIK284 and you have 5$ off.

One of the best real chocolate products I have used. I even have a chocolate soap which I'm almost out of:( Hunt for that next but 1st on to the scrub. It's really good it warms on contact not hot just warm it's really relaxing and the smell with the real pieces of chocolate really make my shower a more enjoyable time than it already is. I luv my showers and with this scrub my skin feels so soft and smells so good.

I first wash with my salux and because it's a sugar scrub I can use it after I shave because the salux pretty much eliminates bumps. So the scrub can really get in and moisturize my skin. The container is pretty big so it's misleading in that sense cause you don't get that huge jar filled up. You do get enough but I save mine more for pampering and use my treehut daily because I don't want to run out. My Target is hit and miss with this product so I'll probably stick to Ulta on this one.

I really recommend it though because your skin feels so smooth, you smell great, and it's the best part of the shower because it's just so yummy!

This is the best scrub I've ever tried. It exfoliates well, gives moisture, and best of all, it smells wonderful. If you're a chocoholic, this is the best thing that will ever happened to you. It smells so wonderful, that I sometimes just open it to smell it.

The container can fool you, as it looks like it contains more than it actually does, but price-wise, it's a good deal.

Omg, I just love this so much! I bought it on iherb for almost nothing, and was so surprised when I tried it and found out about the great value. It warms up when you scrub it into your skin, making it perfect for hot baths in the winter, and it smells like real chocolate. My brother is a sugar hound, and when he goes into the shower he usually opens this up just to get a whiff of the smell. I also love how this scrubs really well and makes dead skin cells disappear, while at the same time it leaves your skin feeling moist and soft. That is quite rare for a body scrub after my experience.


The only bad thing is the packaging, which is kind of heavy and thick, and tricks you into thinking it contains more product than it really has. But for the price that's not really a problem.


I am going to try the mint version too, which is said to smell like Mojitos and has a cooling effect. Perfect for the summer!

Has a nice sweet smell(which I like) I love how this scrub is not oily and does not leave the tub like a ice skating ring!!!! It exfoliates well and is a nautral product which I love about this line however for the price it runs out fast! I will buy again and use less frequent:-)

This is my new favorite scrub. I can't get enough of the smell! It's gentle, yet effective on my sensitive skin. It's natural and scores well on cosmeticsdatabase.com. Exactly what I was looking for.

Smells like chocolate (so heavenly) and does warm up a bit upon contact with skin. The sugar grains are effective and did not make my skin itch.

I LOVE this stuff. LOVE.

The smell is amazing and makes the whole shower smell delicious. Also, it doesn't stick to the skin long enough to make you sick of it.. which is nice.

The container is nice and because it is somewhat twisted/curvy it makes it easier to open and close/hold with wet hands.. which saves my toes from being crushed in the shower!!

It is super grainy (which I love.. I hate non grainy SCRUB! what is that?!) and has just enough oil in it to absorb into the skin without making you or your tub feel slimy and gross!

I can't get over the smell though.. so good. It smells just like real hot chocolate.. not the fake nasty chocolate scent that sometimes comes with chocolate scented product. I am on my second container.

I got one at Target and the other at Ulta.

I adore this product. It smells so so so delicious that I feel like I'm giving my skin a treat when I use it. Plus, it's very well blended so it actually doesn't feel oily (even though it does still moisturize beautifully). It is HELLA expensive, though. You get a much smaller amount of product for your money than you do with most other scrubs. This is a luxury product for me - I only buy it when it's on sale, or I'm feeling a need for a pick me up. I definitely does make for a happy shower, though. :)
